Tips & Tricks5

Moderate 1% Lows

1% low FPS drops to 88 FPS, frame drops below 180Hz cause visible stuttering. Peak RAM usage at 97% is the bottleneck.

Critical RAM Usage

RAM usage peaked at 97% of 16 GB. Close background apps to free up memory, or upgrade to more RAM.

High VRAM Usage

GPU VRAM usage averaged 6.8 of 8 GB (peaked at 85%). Lower graphics settings or resolution to avoid stutters from VRAM pressure.

Single Channel RAM

RAM is running in single channel mode, halving memory bandwidth. Install a second stick to enable dual channel for a significant FPS boost, especially in CPU-limited games.

Browser Running

A browser used 6% CPU and 3% GPU during the benchmark. Close all browser windows for cleaner results.
